AP - With a midnight deadline looming on a threat to pull the plug on Cablevision's 3.1 million customers in New York a day before the Academy Awards, there was still no word Saturday night on whether ABC's parent company and the cable operator have reached a decision.
No skating for Sandra Bullock just because she's a frontrunner for Oscar gold tomorrow.

Lourd represents, or has represented, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn, Robert De Niro and Tom Cruise among others, so we figured that it was worth being brave to sneak in and surround ourselves with the mega-wattage of true Hollywood. We had visions of laughing with George about our antics. Drinking with Brad. Getting De Niro to say "you talking to me" on voicemails to our mothers.
And then two angry, Blackwater-looking security guards in khaki fatigues and windbreakers, a Swiss Guard if you will, sprinted at high speed down the road towards us shouting things, doubtless about the pre-eminence of CAA in Hollywood life and the many achievements of Bryan Lourd. And we shat ourselves and drove away. But not before trying to bribe a valet from Chuck's Parking who was snoozing in a van nearby. "I can't get you in," he said, plainly. So we asked if he could text us updates on whose cars he parked. "No." Window rolled up. Even CAA's Oscar party valets take the oath of omerta.

AP - Too predictable. That's the persistent complaint about the Academy Awards, whose drama generally is sapped by a glut of earlier award shows that spell out what films will win at the Oscars before the show starts.

Reuters - "Alice in Wonderland" set a new record for a March release at the weekend box office in North America, earning an estimated $41 million on its opening day, distributor Walt Disney Co said on Saturday.

The fable of Rove's beat down at the hands of a little girl also appeared in a 2002 article in Utah's Deseret News, where we learn that tyke was Catholic and "put me down on the pavement and whaled on me and gave me a bloody nose. I lost my first political battle." The year was 1960, when Rove would have lived in Sparks, Nevada. (I think. Dedicated Rovologists correct me if I'm wrong, but this was between his early youth in Denver and late teens in Salt Lake City.)

"Larry" (not his real name, unless it is and we're double-bluffing) deals to the upstarts and whippersnappers and says he expects business to double this weekend because "lots of the young actresses like to stay wired all day.

Way more than New York."
"Barry" (also not his real name, unless we decided that the rhyming real names were so implausible that it was better to use them) deals to the older, more world-weary set up in the Hills. He says they tend to restrain themselves for the rest of the year. "But this is Oscars fucking weekend. I don't care who you are—if you win a fucking Oscar you're going to celebrate." He refused to put a figure on his increased take.

We have no idea why guys here, in a city that shapes the world's idea of style through its moving pictures, have The Worst Hair In America. But, judging from our experiences at last night's OK! magazine party and from outside In-n-Out Burger, they do. We'd also like to mention the ones that got away—we missed a couple of bleached, gelled, mullet-into-mohawks which were breathtaking. Dali-esque even. There's always tonight.
This man deliberately, carefully teased his bleached hair into these waves, which lap gently at the shore of shittiness.
We did not prompt this handsome fellow to contort his features into a dramatic reconstruction of the mess on his head. But he did. And for this, we thank him.
If you are looking for someone to run down a wind tunnel, slicing at the very air with his carbon-fiber-hard fin, this is your man.
In an avant-garde adaptation of the traditional faux-hawk, this fellow has opted for a double-peak option. Fun at the front and... fun in the back?
You may scoff at this man's Keith Urban circa-1999 coiffure. But it had serious consequences.
Coiffure and his friend are not, as we first thought, engaged in a thought-provoking interpretive dance piece in the parking lot of In-n-Out Burger at 3am. We believe, having reviewed the evidence, that this was some brand of hairstyle-related fisticuffs. Think of this before you break out your can of Elnett.

Yesterday at 12:55 p.m., Conan O’Brien posted the following to his Twitter account: “I've decided to follow someone at random. She likes peanut butter and gummy dinosaurs. Sarah Killen, your life is about to change.” And it did change, very quickly. Killen, who goes by the Twitter name LovelyButton, is a 19-year-old student in Michigan who started out yesterday with 3 Twitter followers and now is up to 13,279. We chatted with Killen (and her fiancée, John) this afternoon about becoming a sudden Internet celebrity.
So how did you become the one person that Conan O’Brien follows on Twitter?
I don’t know! Someone, but not Conan, contacted me on MySpace and told me he wanted to follow one random person. He said if Conan picked me, I’d get a lot of followers, and was that okay. And I said yes and then he did it, and I started getting followers immediately.
Did you actually think he was going to pick you?
No, because the person who contacted me was vague, and I didn’t take it seriously at all until I went on Twitter later and saw he’d put my name in there. All of a sudden, people were talking about me, and my name was everywhere, and I had all these followers. And it took a while to sort it out. I had like 4,000 messages in my in-box, so the first few hours were just going through everything.
What were you tweeting about before?
I tweet about random stuff: I love peanut butter, I love gummy dinosaurs, whatever I was doing at the time. I started doing it because I wanted to vent stuff, and because no one was following me, I knew no one would see it. And now I guess a lot of people will.
Were you a big Conan fan before?
He’s hilarious, I would stay up to watch him. I was one of his followers on Twitter, so that’s how he found me. I just started my Twitter account a few days before he did, so there were rumors that I was in cahoots with him about this, but I definitely wasn’t.
So has your life actually changed yet?
Yes! I have a lot of people offering me free stuff, though I’ve only accepted a computer from Hornblasters. But people are offering us stuff for our wedding, photographers and invitations, but I haven't accepted anything other than the computer. Oh, and I’ve raised a lot of money for 3-day for the Cure, the charity I support. I think we’re over $2,000 in one day, which is the amount I wanted to raise by August.
So you’re getting married on September 25.
Everybody keeps joking that Conan will come to our wedding, so that would be fantastic. It’s rumored that he’s going to start his new show that day.
Maybe you’ll get married on the show!
I would do it, that’d be awesome.
It's a boy!

Fashion Wire Daily - Often the simplest of ideas are the most effective in fashion, which was very much the case with the latest runway show, or work or performance art, by Dutch duo Viktor & Rolf.
Twenty-two years after profanity-filled action comedy Midnight Run hit theaters, it's finally getting a sequel. In the original, bounty hunter Jack Walsh (Robert DeNiro) sets out to find a mob accountant (Charles Grodin) so he can collect $100,000. If you need a reminder of how awesome the original was, watch this. But before you get too excited, know one thing: Charles Grodin isn't coming back. [DHD]
The list of celebrity 9/11 Truthers grew by one today when Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad suggested that the attacks on the the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were staged. The remarks were made during an address to the Intelligence Ministry staff and reported by state media.
"The September 11 incident was a big fabrication as a pretext for the campaign against terrorism and a prelude for staging an invasion against Afghanistan," he said. Mr. Ahmadinejad also reportedly described the attacks in New York as a "complicated intelligence scenario and act."
Ahmadinejad has a history of not believing in things that everyone else believes in. Most notably, of course, the Holocaust, which he once called "a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim."
Karl Rove has a memoir out on Tuesday, and like those in politics tend to, he uses the book as a chance to defend the work he did while in the White House. In Courage and Consequence, Rove denies having any involvement with the prosecution of Don Siegelman and the firing of seven U.S. attorneys, lays into Democrats who accused the White House of lying about weapons of mass destruction, and delivers a big wet smooch to his former boss George W. Bush. But the book's not all about him. Rove also savages Al Gore for questioning Saddam Hussein's possession of WMDs as "the most pathetic display of hypocrisy" and accuses President Obama of playing "fast and loose with the facts." Lest you forget, this is man whose name is now a synonym for dirty politics.
But more interesting than the stories of his time in the Bush Administration is one about the time he got beat up by a girl.
Here's the story as recounted by the Washington Post's Steven Livingston:
At age 9 — and already a political nerd — he became a spirited supporter of Richard Nixon in the 1960 presidential smackdown against John F. Kennedy. So intense was his devotion that he landed a coveted Nixon bumper sticker and displayed it proudly on his bicycle basket — until a little girl in his neighborhood who favored JFK beat the stuffing out of him, bloodying his nose and ego. "I've never liked losing a political fight since," Rove writes.
Almost makes you feel sorry for little Karl Rove. Almost!

NBC made the wise move of renewing Community, The Office, and 30 Rock yesterday, ensuring that Thursdays next season will be just as funny as Thursdays this season (Parks and Rec was renewed in January). This is cause for celebration for everyone who likes to laugh at their TV. Or, if you're Community creator Dan Harmon, it's an opportunity to assemble your cast, pretend like you're about to tell them that the show has been canceled, and then reveal the good news (which is what happens in the video below). Everyone loves a good prank. Except for maybe Yvette Nicole Brown. She looks like she almost died.
"She kind of dresses like, if I were a woman, how I would dress. I don't think it would stand out, but it's always appropriate." — Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle on his former employee and new White House Social Secretary Julianna Smoot, who really couldn't be any more different from Desirée Rogers.

It's (sorta) official: That redheaded giant Conan O'Brien will embark on a live tour next month. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Conan's first stop will be in San Diego or Seattle. The show will include his longtime sidekick Andy Richter and maybe Max Weinberg. As far as cities go, New York and L.A. are on the list. Phoenix, however, may have lost its spot owing to an overzealous promoter. But that's probably good news for Conan. No trip to Phoenix means he doesn't have to buy that pricey SPF 700.

Precious cleaned up at last night's Independent Spirit Awards, bringing home trophies for best feature, best director (Lee Daniels), best first screenplay (Geoffrey Fletcher), best female lead (Gabourey Sidibe), and best supporting female (Mo'Nique). So every award Precious was nominated for, it won. Not bad! The best actor trophy (a bird sitting on top of a pole) went to Jeff Bridges for Crazy Heart, and Woody Harrelson won for best supporting actor for The Messenger. But the biggest award of the night went to a film not even nominated for an Oscar. That's right, Anvil! The Story of Anvil! won best documentary. Metal!

Okay, it's official: President Obama is a masochist. How else could you explain his decision to tackle immigration reform? Next week Obama plans to bring attention to the issue by meeting with Senators Chuck Schumer and Lindsey Graham to discuss an immigration-reform bill they've been working on for a few months. Obama's hoping to get Congress moving on a bill before the midterm elections turn everyone into a self-preservation machine.
According to the L.A. Times, the outline of a Schumer-Graham bill would include creating a "path toward citizenship" for the almost 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally. The path, which would include registering with the government, paying a fine, and paying taxes, is almost certain to polarize Congress and the country, just as much the health-care bill has. And, like with the health-care bill, Obama plans to rely on Congress to figure it out. Well, at least he's consistent.
